Cured for 2 weeks with 2.5% weight in salt, 0.025% weight in nitrate salts, a pinch of sodium ascorbate to accelerate the cure, rosemary, thyme, black pepper and cinnamon, followed by a week soaked in red wine.
Drying took about 2 months at 10c, 85% RH at the start, down to 70% RH by the end!
Started at 1kg, ended with 600g of finished bresaola.

So to be clear, you did a cure cycle..ie 15 days, then rinsed and followed with a week in wine?

That looks fantastic, well done. Did you use cure #1 or #2? If #2, you need to let it go at least four weeks.
edit: If it hits your weight-loss goals earlier than 3 weeks, vac seal it to finish. I just had to do this.
